1

Three people have been charged after hundreds of protesters including comedian Russell Brand descended on Buckingham Palace and Parliament Square as part of a worldwide demonstration against austerity cuts.

Officers from Scotland Yard arrested 15 pepole during the protests yesterday, which saw demonstrators clashing with police, fireworks aimed at the palace, as well as damage to Nelson’s Column and the Queen Victoria Memorial.

Today three people were charged; Ashley Anderson Hunte-Smith, 25, from Morden, south London, and Jordan Mark Perry, 21, from St Albans in Hertfordshire, are each accused of a public order offence and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on November 19.

Jemma McCarthy, 25, from Bourne, Lincolnshire, was charged with two counts of assault on a police officer and will appear at the same court today.

A further 10 people remain in custody today after a night of disturbance in which fireworks were fired at Buckingham Palace and a blaze started just yards from its gates as hundreds of masked Anonymous protesters clashed with police.

The demonstrators – taking part in a global march against austerity cuts known as the Anonymous Million Mask Protest – threw glass bottles during confrontations with officers in riot gear.

Comedian Russell Brand, 38, joined in the protest as he used an opinion article in The Guardian to say that people riot ‘when dialogue fails, when they feel unrepresented and bored by the illusion’.

Police tried to shepherd the crowd in Central London, where a fire was started near the Victoria Memorial – and at least one man and woman were seen being taken away by officers.

Several similar events were carried out in cities in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, in opposition to austerity cuts, corruption and an increase in state surveillance.

Brand said in his piece: ‘We are living in a time of huge economic disparity and confronting ecological disaster. This disparity has always been, in cultures since expired, a warning sign of end of days.

‘In Rome, Egypt and Easter Island the incubated ruling elites, who had forgotten that we are one interconnected people, destroyed their societies by not sharing.

‘That is what’s happening now, regardless of what you think of my hair or me using long words, the facts are the facts and the problem is the problem. Don’t be distracted.’

It follows an appearance on Newsnight and a guest editorship of the New Statesman which he used to call for a ‘total revolution of consciousness and our entire social, political and economic system’.

Russell Brand

 

Brand has been pushing his political agenda over the past few weeks, with a clip of him being interviewed by Jeremy Paxman about his desire for a political revolution going viral on YouTube.

Ceylan Hassan, 24, a university graduate, said of last night’s protests: ‘They started shouting move back, move back, but we had nowhere to go.

‘The police started pushing us, screaming “move back, move back”. There was a fire on the right hand side of the monument and people started throwing things. We’ve been here from the start.’

Protesters were moved back away from Buckingham Palace as the atmosphere grew tense. Some of those involved in the march were seen ripping barriers from the side of the road.

Sean Roesner, 21, a self-employed computer programmer, travelled to the protest with his brother and friend from King’s Lynn, Norfolk, this afternoon.

‘When we arrived people were firing fireworks at the Palace. It was funny. I didn’t have any but I would have fired some if I had’

Sean Roesner, protester

 

He said: ‘We turned up and the protest was at Buckingham Palace. When we arrived people were firing fireworks at the Palace. It was funny. I didn’t have any but I would have fired some if I had.

‘I joined Anonymous because I was arrested under the Computer Misuse Act. I spent eight months on police bail last year and had done nothing wrong. We are here to stand up for what we believe in, to make the world a better place.’

Mr Roesner said his friend had been among a group of people encircled by the police on The Mall and was waiting for him to be released so they could return home.
